Bizarre "stolen" car mystery solved:

[Aussie Revhead]

A car reported stolen by it's owner was found two weeks later in a nearby garage.

The owner had left the vehicle on a slope near shops early December 18 in the Adelaide Hills, returning later to find it gone, and proceeded to call police.

The mystery was still unsolved when the new owners of a house opposite the shops returned from holidays on Wednesday.

Noticing their garage door had received minor damage and been pushed off its tracks, they suspected a break-in.

Upon inspection, they found the car inside.

Police say the owner probably did not put the transmission in park when he left the vehicle.

South Australian Police Officer Tim Dodds:

"It had rolled out of the shopping centre car park, across the road, down the driveway, into the garage, through the garage door which then closed on itself and there was the man's stolen car."

Police say they even reconstructed this sequence of events to confirm the mystery solved.
